Composition and Principles of Art

    
Composition is the way art is arranged on the page. 7th grade students are learning how to create a pleasing composition by using principles of art. Is there an emphasis to the picture? balance? movement? Proportion?
Different principles of art focus your attention to one part of the picture first, and then another. Like composing a written paper, composition brings order to how an audience looks at your picture.

7th grade students are focusing on art principles while creating still life drawings, creating a composition that uses balance, emphasis, movement or contrast.
